Young Osprey 2014

This young "osprey" was taken from the nest by an eagle, and survived after being dropped into a yard. The osprey was brought to the West Sound Wildlife Shelter for care and rehabilitation. He continued to grow, and tried to learn to fly. He was not successful, and it was determined injuries from his encounter with the eagle prevented him from gaining altitude during flight. He is unable to survive in the wild, however he will be an education ambassador in his new home at a Raptor Center in Michigan.
